Cauliflower plant leaves become dinner. Served with Asian sauce and Jasmine rice.

Asian sauce ingredients: oyster sauce, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil.

Pantry staples + plant leaves = frugal yummy dinner!

Had a few bananas that got hidden for too long, so I made some banana bread! I sent half of it with the guys doing our windows and siding. I don't know what was up, but it felt like it took forever to finish baking.

I finally brought home some peas! I picked out the most yellow-looking plants and brought them home in the bag, so I could pick off the pea pods in my bed. Then, still in bed, I shelled them and got a little container of peas! That's going to be enough for two meals:

This is all the other stuff I brought from the garden; some potatoes, green onions, garlic scapes, and kale! I cut all of these up to finally make a good soup. (I've been living on soups made just from onions, garlic and swiss chard stems, sometimes asparagus got in there.)

And here's the soup!

Watching your siblings cook sometimes makes you wonder how they do anything in life. This bitch has no idea what he's doing.

Cooking from Scratch: Vodka Gnocchi and Chicken

My first post for Solarpunk aesthetic week 2!

I wasn't sure why at first but baking and cooking from scratch felt like a very solarpunk thing to do.

At first I thought it may be because of the more communal aspect, borrowing ingredients from others if you don't have something, and sharing what you produced if there's too much.

But I've come to the conclusion to me it's more about time.

Walking to the garage and back to pick up a load of bread takes ten minutes minimum where I live, with a car to get further out just buying bread and nothing else is still only an hour max.

But baking bread? The time it takes to mix and then rise and bake is so much longer.

And having the time to do so is currently a luxury, during lockdowns in 2020 at least here in the UK everyone was suddenly making bread from scratch, partly because of people hoarding but also for something to do.

Since then I haven't heard of a single person around me doing it.

So here's to currently having the time to bake and the two weeks my parents were away leaving me with the house to myself while my brother was at college/work.

Crackers I made from scratch because I forgot to buy some when I got other shopping. Not the best but still liked them.

Bread!

Pizza from scratch

Ginger cake thing (didn't have ingredients for regular gingerbread, attempted to make ginger shortbread but didn't want to use more butter then needed more flour but only had self rasing so)

An attempt at pasta the other day that was way too thick but hey, first try.

I just made the best hummus. A trick lets you boil dried chickpeas to nearly mush in 20 minutes, and it's the smoothest hummus ever.

Here's the recipe:

My brother tried to make my mom breakfast this morning except he messed up the amount of salt he was putting in the potatoes and ended up with Potatoes From The Salt Lakes

My mom took a bite and it looked like her face was trying to run away from her mouth.

I got several bites in before I made a sound that can only be described as poison damage procing.

It was one of those things where either the first bite bites back or you slowly stack the salt like the bleed/frostbite effect in elden ring.

He was laughing so hard that it made him have an asthma attack and my mom jokes that the potatoes had an aoe too.

The rest of the breakfast was good btw, it was just the potatoes that applied health debuffs.
